Auto-battle in a strip
Your party fights monster waves in a slim band across the taskbar. Targeting, skills and loot are all handled for you — no clicking required.
▮ YOUR PARTY GRINDS WHILE YOU WORK
Your Ragnarok party
lives in your taskbar.
A tiny idle RPG built from real Ragnarok Online sprites. Deploy a party of heroes into a slim strip along your taskbar — they auto-battle monster waves, climb the full job tree, and haul loot while you get on with your day.
Free · Windows 10 / 11 · ~40 MB · No RO account needed
THE PITCH
It's a whole RPG, running in the space you ignore.
Taskbar Hero showed that a game can live in the thinnest slice of your screen. TBRO takes that idea to Rune-Midgarts: a party of Ragnarok heroes grinds monster waves in a strip along your taskbar, no attention required. Pop open a window to change jobs, sort your bag, or plot your next map — then close it and let them fight on.

FEATURES
Everything you loved about RO, on autopilot.
The full RO job tree
Start as a Novice and climb all the way to 4th-class — 34 jobs across the sword, magic, bow, faith, shadow and merchant lines, each with real skills.
Progress while you're away
Step away or close the app entirely — a seeded simulator advances your grind. Come back to earned EXP, zeny and drops waiting to be claimed.
Craft, brew & forge
Turn drops into potions, flasks and elemental weapons. An Alchemist guild, brewing and forging turn raw loot into real power.
Party, bench & market
Recruit up to eight heroes, bench the ones resting, and trade gear with other players on a live player marketplace.
Real sprites, real lore
Every hero, monster and item is a genuine Ragnarok Online sprite — from Porings to MVPs — set across the maps of Rune-Midgarts.
CLASSES
From Novice to legend.
Every hero begins as a Novice. Where they end up is your call — climb any of the six job lines to their 4th-class peak.
Hover a hero to see them move · these are live in-game sprites
THE LOOP
Three steps, then it runs itself.

Pick your heroes and drop into a stage. They march in and start clearing waves automatically.

Let them grind
Skills fire, monsters fall, loot drops. It keeps going while you work — and keeps simulating after you close it.

Grow stronger
Change jobs, upgrade gear and brew consumables, then push into Illusion, Nightmare and Hell difficulty.

Download for WindowsQUESTIONS
Good to know.
Is TBRO free?
Completely. TBRO is a non-commercial fan project — there's nothing to buy and no ads.
Is this official Ragnarok Online?
No. TBRO is an unofficial, fan-made idle game that uses Ragnarok Online's art and lore. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Gravity Co., Ltd.
Does it really keep playing while I work?
Yes. It sits quietly along your taskbar and keeps battling in the background. Even when fully closed, your progress is simulated and waiting for you the next time you open it.
Do I need a Ragnarok Online client or account?
No. TBRO is completely standalone. Download it, run it, and play — no external client, login or subscription required.
What are the system requirements?
Windows 10 or 11. The installer is tiny (~40 MB) and the game sips CPU and memory since it only animates a thin strip.
Will there be a Mac or Linux version?
The desktop shell targets Windows first. Other platforms may follow down the road.
